OK, OK, you’ve caught me. I did the butternut squash and pomegranate thing again. Quinoa, salad, and now these lovely little toasts. But I just can’t get over the color combination. Believe it or not, I have an orange kitchen, so I just love the color of those little cubes of roasted butternut squash. Add little jewels of pomegranate (plus that but of crunch and tartness) and I can’t help myself. Then goat cheese. Forget it. The addition of sweet, syrupy aged or reduced balsamic vinegar just puts it over the top.

Plus the day I went grocery shopping, I swear they only had the biggest butternut squash everrrrrr.

I love these easy crostini bites. Soooo tasty. And the different flavors and textures. It’s really a special little hors d’oeurves. If you have just part of your butternut squash left and are just making an hors d’oeurves for as dinner party, then just pick up a ciabatta roll and slice it up. If you need to feed the whole team, get an entire baguette. I’m leaving the quantities in the recipe pretty loose for this reason.

And really, once you’ve taken the time to break down the butternut squash, it couldn’t be easier to put these Butternut Squash, Pomegranate and Goat Cheese Crostini together. You could literally be throwing them together as your guests are coming up the driveway.

A quick note about the goat cheese crostini recipe:

If you are eating gluten free, be sure to purchase gluten free bread to make the crostini with.

When I created this recipe I had not been diagnosed with a gluten allergy, so I do have recipes from early days on my blog that are not gluten free. And the rest of my family is not GF< so sometimes I make things for them. I am trying to convert many old recipes, but haven't done this one yet. Thanks for the feedback.

I think that this Recipe would taste really good, can’t wait to try it. You always need other ways to try sprucing up you Veggies anyway. It has Ingredients that I like. — And those Kitchen tools look Fabulous!!

This looks so good! Thanks for doing a goat cheese recipe as I am allergic to milk and cannot do dairy. I always change recipes to suit my needs, but nice to not have to think about what and how to change something. As for Oxo products…I love the angled measuring cups. I need to get the avocado slicer thingy. Thanks for the giveaway!

I love OXO products- it’s a brand I trust and swear by. But my favorite OXO product is my swivel vegetable peeler. It’s comfortable, has a comfortable grip, and is sharp enough to peel everything I use it on. I’ve been breaking down lots of thick-skinned winter squashes for years now, and it’s showing no wear and tear.

I got the set of stainless steel mixing bowls for Christmas and I LOVE THEM! They are my new favorites and I use them exclusively now. Great bowls, perfect sizes, and the rubber on the bottom keeps them from moving everywhere when you are mixing.

I dont have any oxo products but if i had to chose it would be the food scale because we really would like one for the summer months with our garden! I would love to see how big our tomatoes are getting!
